travel

We are preparing, no, almost prepared, to go to the Scientific Assembly of Family Practice Physicians in San Francisco.

Until I read an email from our pastor today, I was depressed and worried about going. I will be spending a great deal of time alone in a strange city while Tom is in classes the first days through Sunday October 2.

I will be deeply missing my beloved church family and hope to get to church on Oct 2 even though i don't know where the churches are...

I have begun to actually be excited now.

Pray for Molly as she has to go to a kennel for the first time and I know she probably will not be a happy kitty.

Dear friends Dawn & Steve and the girls are taking care of the other 4 fur kids each day, praise God for our new church family. What a wonder it is to have people willing to help.. to actually give me clothes to wear, to encourage and uplift us.

We leave at 6:00 a.m. Tuesday the 27th and return at 6:15 Sunday the 9th. Tom works a long 12 hour shift the next day so pray for his strength... he'll have lost 4 hours coming east on the way home.

We will miss you all! If I can I'll come to post here and try to get my email from the web but not sure if I will be able to. Being away from the computer is going to be interesting... and not my favorite choice... as you well know.

Blessings to all who have shown us so much love and care. Thanks to the McCoys who are cat sitting and to Leslie Chapman who generously shared her clothes with me. To Sharon who helped me overcome the terrible hair episode and to Holly who volunteered to come and help me decide what to pack for the trip and who is graciously rising at the crack of Dawn to get us to the airport and pick us up.

Bless you all. We are continually amazed at God's provision for us in every facet of our lives.

Love in Christ,
